High Availability for the LAMP Stack, Step-by-Step

Make Sure Your Sites & Apps Run Smoothly By Eliminating Points of Failure

What's Inside

The success of any site or app begins and ends with the site itself not going down. This step-by-step guide will teach you to eliminate potential points of failure, and guarantee the site is prepared for scaling and giant surges in traffic. Learn to ensure service availability for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP based web applications. Plus, with this solution, you can repair failures on your own time and not in the middle of the night

  • Study the instructor’s proven LAMP stack solution w/ 22 lectures & 2 hours of content
  • Learn to eliminate single points of failure for your Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHPbased web applications
  • Enable your sites to scale & experience increased traffic without downtime
  • Watch lessons & demonstrations on actual Linux servers
  • Reference diagrams while you build
  • Save time researching & testing various solutions

This architecture & design:

  • Works on physical servers. If you're running on bare metal, this design will work for you.
  • Works in virtual environments such as VMWare, VirtualBox, Ovirt, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), KVM, and Xen.
  • Works in the cloud -- You'll learn about the important nuances for running in the cloud. This design works whether you're using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace Cloud, or another provider.
  • Scales without downtime…. add more servers or resources without users even noticing.
  • Works with custom written web sites and applications that run on the LAMP stack.
  • Supports popular open source web applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, MediaWiki, phpBB, Redmine, SugarCRM, and more.

Even though this course is targeted directly at the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), the concepts and techniques presented can be reused in a variety of other situations. If you ever need a floating IP, the ability to add more storage to servers without downtime, to balance loads across multiple servers, or deploy a highly available database cluster, you can put what you learn in this course to good use.

After you complete the course you'll be able to deploy highly available web services that allow you to scale without downtime, add storage on the fly, and survive single points of failure. If you're like me and have to support what you deploy, you'll be able to start sleeping through the night with your high availability design. You also won't have to worry about painting yourself into a corner as you'll be able to take what you've learned to grow your infrastructure and support an increasing number of users.


You'll get instant access to…

  • 20+ HD videos that not only explain the concepts, but also demonstrate their application on actual Linux servers
  • Diagrams to reference and use while you're building your environment
  • Configuration files you can use for each of the services
  • Scripts that automate the building of an entire High Availability LAMP Stack deployment
  • An unconditional, never any questions asked full 30 day money-back-in-full guarantee
